Tax Tips from IRS Insiders You’d Be Crazy to Ignore
Since Tax Day is around the corner, I’m bringing you tips and advice from unique tax professionals, Garrett and Deborah Gregory. They’re a married team who worked for the IRS corporate tax division for more than 24 years combined.
After leaving the government, they founded Gregory Law Group, PLLC, a tax law firm in Dallas, Texas dedicated to helping American taxpayers resolve their IRS problems. The Gregorys have deep, insider knowledge about tax law and how the IRS really works.
In this interview, they give advice about how to stay out of tax trouble and the best ways to legally pay as little tax as possible.
The IRS is the biggest and most aggressive creditor in the world. If you owe the IRS back taxes, you need to have a resolution strategy. – Deborah Gregory
